Yeah, with every bit of news that comes out for this movie it just seems to get worse and worse. First they decide to throw in Batman and a bunch of other superheros for no goddamn reason and then they announce the casting like it was done by a third grader who isn't able to name more than 5 Hollywood actors.

Hmm wow. I hold V for Vendetta up with The Dark Knight. They're favourites.

For the record, I HATE HATE HATE superhero/action films. I would give The Avengers a 4/10 being generous.

Also, for the casting topic....

The people who choose the casting probably had auditions before finally deciding who. I'm sure if Affleck, Eisenberg were bad then they wouldn't have picked them.

So far though i'd say the casting has been a HUUUGE success in terms of getting people to talk about the film. It's almost turned into viral advertising for the film. And now many people will go to the cinema to see the film because they'll either be:1. Fans just wanting to hope its good2. Idiots who will watch anything with explosions3. People who are wanting to know if the casting made it bad.

It's true, some people will go to see a film in anticipation of it being bad.
